Drawing from Matthew 5 and John 17, Norman unpacks the rich metaphors of salt and light—revealing that God's people are called to enhance and preserve what is good, to create a thirst for Jesus, and to bring hope and colour into the lives of those around them. Norman weaves together the imagery of a prism and the Greek word polypoikilós—many-coloured—to cast a vision of the church as a unity in diversity that reflects the manifold wisdom of God. The evidence of God's kingdom, Norman reminds us, is not in numbers, but in love.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gep4PA7Dc52wkrRJ8QXxGw_cH0GHbI23rNnEfoNFRMc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80Y2Zk/Mjg0OGZhOTg0MDdi/ZGNlNDEyMTM0YzZk/M2RmNS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
